Pope Francis has convoked a “Synod on Synodality,” which is meeting as this podcast premiers. Many faithful Catholics have expressed concern over the synod, as its promoters have proposed severe and potentially destructive changes to the Church’s structure.

Synod leaders have repeatedly expressed their desire to discuss “inclusion.” The following article, taken from the recently published book “The Synodal Process Is a Pandora’s Box,” by José Antonio Ureta and Julio Loredo explains what the word “inclusion” means for the Synod’s promoters.

The other essays included in this podcast describe the one group that is excluded from the Synod proceedings and the reaction to the book.
